Module documentation for 1.4.2.0

hscurses is a Haskell binding to the ncurses library, a library offunctions that manage an application's display on character-cellterminals. hscurses also provides some basic widgets implemented ontop of the ncurses binding, such as a text input widget and a tablewidget.

The hscurses library has been reported to work on Linux x86 using GHC6.12.1, 7.0.3 and 7.2.1.

Building and installing the hscurses library with GHC-----------------------------------------------------

In order to generate the API documentation, you need haddock(http://www.haskell.org/haddock). The command is then:

runhaskell Setup.hs haddock

Using the hscurses library:---------------------------

Just add the flag `-package hscurses' to the compiler flags. At themoment, user documentation is only available through Haddock APIdocumentation.

Windows support:----------------

Windows support relies on pdcurses (http://pdcurses.sourceforge.net/),which is already packaged for MinGW(http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/PDCurses/PDCurses-3.4-1/)and can be installed with mingw-get.
